Iterations and Reinterpretations of my project initially, I came to the conclusion that because we are creating so much data and memory online (from social media in particular) it must be a waste. This I believe is partially false, if we were to look at…

What am I trying to solve with this thesis study/project? I believe that this key reason had been lost on me with the last prototype(s) of mine. I need to re-think what I am making…truly. Over the last few prototypes of my projects, I have…
